Today marks the next step in my life. Â Today I returned the last of materials I had in my home, that were part of my involvement in a charity group. Â I have resigned.
Now, lets say now, the cause was a good one, a noble one, and certainly it is needed. Â I hope it continues to succeed, that it grows, that it goes on helping families.
But, like all organisations, all it takes is one uncomfortable relationship, and it becomes impossible to continue.
A person intruded into my personal life making me feel monitored and watched. Â Every move, every Facebook post, every little piece of gossip, was used to further tar me. Â No amount of silence and hard work seemed to appease them. Â I am hurt and angry ….. I assume they are too, and I am sure they feel justified in their minds.
There is no winner here. Â I am sure there is a lesson here for me. Â Can’t see it right now though.

I am sorry to hear about this. It is a grief to give up working on something you believe in. But you’re right, sometimes the only way to deal with a difficult relationship is to let it go. Not fun, though. Best wishes. Sew something – it’s a great way to feel better, making something,
So sorry to hear about this but I do think your decision to leave something difficult behind and move on to something better will be the best thing for you, you deserve better 🙂
I know what you are going through. It is such a pity when things deteriorate like this, especially when you are all supposed to be working together. As you say, it just takes one person to ruin it all, but there comes a point when you have to step away and cut your losses otherwise you can end up as toxic as them. I do hope you can move on to bigger and better things.
